HPERM Ref: D25/340458

Ms Heather Marshall – TfNSW made the following comments in regard to this item:

· That Stop Signs be given consideration in place of the Give Way signs.

· That consideration be given to moving forward the right turn heading into the development.

· That consideration be given to a raised median strip for protection at the turn coming out of the development.

· The No Stopping signs on page 31 of the plan need to be reviewed as they are not placed at intervals.

· In regard to page 29 of the plans, consideration be given to whether parking is allowed, as the plans show the full width of the road being taken up.

Ms Simone King – Premier Buses, noted that from a bus perspective the left turn coming out of the development appears very tight.

Sgt Simon Pugh – NSW Police strongly suggested a Stop Sign be used in place of Give Way signs, noting that the turn out of the development is into 90km zone.

Post meeting note: Following investigation, Council advises:

1. Stop signs are not warranted in accordance with AS1742.

2. CHR is compliant with Austroads GTRD Part 4A but, this will be forwarded to Development Team for consideration of whether there is room to move it further into the intersection.

3. A raised median strip is not a condition of consent. However, this TfNSW recommendation will be referred to Development Team for consideration.

4. ‘No Stopping’ signage is to be updated to cover the whole ‘No Stopping’ zone.

5. In regard to page 29, parking is allowed and there is sufficient width for vehicles to slow down and drive around parked vehicles.

6. The left hand turn for ‘check vehicle’ swept path shows that the turn is complaint.
